acceptance

i used to remember this one friend who critized my blog: man you're blog is so boring. no one posts comments on it. at that time i just brushed it off coz generating comment count was not the reason i did this blog. it was just an avenue to air my thoughts and views. people come and go and if they like what they read and it changes their life, all the better.

i shall not identify the person, mainly because that person seems to strike me as an attention-whore and thus i shall propogate it. from here on, that person shall be termed as X.

at that time, i din really pay much attention to the comment made, but recently when i was reflecting on people's characteristics and their traits, i realised what X's was. X was more interested in seeking acceptance than to go with what X thought was right.

Never mind if this is wrong, i shall just do it so that people will like me. oh look, people are talking to me, they must like me. oh look, a new comment, wow i must have a lot of fans. and the list goes on.

i really do not understand such people. is seeking acceptance really that important? have you no sense of self-worth? its one thing to make your friends and the people around you happy but its another thing altogether to do something just to make them accept you. if you fall into the latter group, then i'd suggest you find a new pool of friends who can accept you for who you REALLY are and not the person with the mask on.

oh and another thing: grow up

** this post is in no way a personal attack and if you think you are guilty of it and would do something about it, good on you. if not, then good luck to you**
